The Spider-Man spin-off Venom appears to be moving ahead, SCI FI Wire reports.

Paul Wernick, who co-wrote Zombieland, talked with SCI FI Wire about the Venom script he wrote with Rhett Reese.

"We've written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they're pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward," Wernick said. He wouldn't elaborate on what relationship might exist between Spider-Man 4 and the Venom project.

"We can't really talk about that, unfortunately," he said. "Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what's the next step."
